Case File 02 [Voice/Action, Early evening]

[greatinspector]

[Zenigata has spent the better part of the last month stalking around the village, looking surly and generally pretty cranky.  Anyone who tries to bother him was pretty much ignored, as the Inspector seemed somewhat absorbed in his own thoughts.  Today, however, is a little bit different.  He's finally over his...brooding and grumbling and seems to have flopped down outside his apartment building in the early evening.  Anyone who happens by can see that he's taken a bit of booze from one of the bars, and is just kind of flopped down, staring off into the sky with a vaguely thoughtful expression.  Periodically, he rambles into the journal to nobody in particular, and he seems receptive to anyone who happens to come by, offering booze to adults]

Y'know, its times like this where I wonder why I became a cop in the first place.  I mean, yea, I'm good at it and all, but that doesn't make it an easy job.  I work hard, every goddamn day to keep jerks and thugs off the street, and I don't get a lick of thanks from anyone.  Hell, most people back home laugh at us cops, think we are all good for nothin' lardasses who like eatin' donuts and harassing people for no good reason.  But here, theres...no real need for me ta be a cop.  Kinda gets me thinkin' about all the stuff I coulda done with myself besides bein' the best damn cop Interpol has.  Coulda been a better husband, coulda taken better care of Toshiko, and been a better grandad too.  Bah...

And thats another thing.  Its damn weird being one place for so long.  How do you people do it?  Its kinda freakin' me out, not running off after Lupin every week, and actually having...a house instead of a hotel room.  I have a feeling I should start decorating or something, and having more food around than ramen and booze.

I'm not sure what golf is, but as for martial arts, there is a fighting school around. I believe Buffy is leading that, if you want to speak with her. There might be some cooking classes, too, but I'm not sure who's in charge of that now.

Yes, we have scouts at this time though more are always welcome. Are you interested in being one?

[Voice] (Sorry! I think I missed this tag!)

Absolutely. I think it'd be something useful I could do.

Oh, I'm Zenigata. Zenigata Koichi.
